Church guide

Today our youth group talked about how they are the “seeds of change”. 🍚 We made seed energy balls. The seeds represented our values- honesty, respect, and humility held together by our church and family (honey and peanut butter). Here’s the tasty recipe! 📋 https://www.bucketlisttummy.com/no-bake-pb-cherry-trail-mix-bites/

Our kids are our seeds of change. As they spend time throughout this summer in different places and spaces we’ll continue to remind them to scatter God's word. Pre-K Children and Families: Our experienced nursery leader, Ms. Ruth, will be waiting for our youngest parishioners in the nursery, where they will find an engaging environment for music and play! Of course, our littlest ones are always welcome in the service as well. Please don't forget to sign in and out! Youth Kinder & Up: Come learn about all the different seeds, you can share, be kind, gracious, lead, and so much more. What are the values that we hold and share?
